March 21 to April 20
With Mercury in Libra shining a light on partnerships, one-to-one conversations can sizzle. You’ll be keen to negotiate by making use of your charm. Even so, an angle to Jupiter in Cancer suggests emotions around home and family may spill into the dialogue. Big feelings could escalate small matters, so avoid promising more than you can deliver. A little tact is worth its weight in gold.

Today’s celestial guidance for Aries
April 21 to May 21
Go easy, as communication could balloon out of proportion. A mini to-do list might suddenly look like a novel, or a casual chat could turn into a marathon debate. The key is to pace yourself, so don’t overload your schedule or your conversations. Balance efficiency with kindness, and you’ll turn busy routines into golden opportunities for positive connection and meaningful progress.

Today’s planetary forecast for Taurus
May 22 to June 21
Self-expression or fun projects sparkle with possibility, and you’ll be eager to share ideas. Even so, a lively angle brings a cautionary note as enthusiasm could tempt you to spend more than you should, or to overpromise when resources are tight. Keep one eye on pleasure and the other on practicality. With care, you can enjoy the pleasures of the moment without draining reserves.

How the stars aligned for Gemini today
June 22 to July 23
Ready to talk through plans or smooth over differences? A lively but expansive aspect suggests it’s easy to overstate, overcommit or let personal feelings tip the balance. Still, this aspect also brings opportunities for heartfelt honesty if you temper passion with tact. By listening as much as you speak, you’ll strengthen bonds and create harmony, so that both can flourish beautifully.

July 24 to August 23
It’s time to share ideas, network and explore fresh perspectives. Yet as Mercury aspects Jupiter, be mindful of hidden influences such as big promises or unspoken feelings that could slip into the mix. It’s easy to say more than you mean or overlook subtle cues. A little reflection before speaking helps ensure your words are graceful. Try to balance lively dialogue with quiet listening.

You may be thinking carefully about how to earn, spend and invest, but Mercury’s angle to expansive Jupiter could tempt you to stretch beyond reason, especially for friends, group or big visions.

October 24 to November 22
Your thoughts may turn inward towards reflection or behind-the-scenes planning. Yet as Mercury squares off with Jupiter, lofty dreams or far-reaching ideals could make it tricky to separate insight from wishful thinking. It’s easy to get carried away with big visions while the details stay hazy. The key is equilibrium, as it will help you turn expansive ideas into paths that broaden your horizons.
